question in sup of two functions...

f,g: [a,b]---> R
f(x)>g(x) for every x at [a,b]

which of these statements are true? and why?
1. if f and g are continous at (a,b), and f is bounded at [a,b] - so sup f((a,b))>sup g((a,b)).
2. if f and g are continous at [a,b], so sup f([a,b])>sup g([a,b]).

ok! so using this theorem 2# is easy.. thank you!
how can i find more details on this theorem? i couldn't find it by just searching "Hight point theorem" up... are there anymore usefull sentences like this one?
